IDF Investigates Death of Palestinian Boy


(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - On Thursday, Palestinian boys in the West Bank village of Tuqua, south of Bethlehem, were seen throwing stones at cars driving near the neighboring Israeli community of Tekoa. IDF Lt.-Col. Richard Hecht, a military spokesman, said a senior officer on the scene went to the house after spotting one of the stone throwers on a balcony and told the father to make the children stop throwing stones at motorists. He said the officer spoke in a "very calm manner" and left. "There was no violence, no entry into the house." A family member said 7-year-old Rayan Suleiman was upset at the sight of the soldiers, and after the soldiers left, the boy collapsed and died. There is an ongoing IDF investigation into the matter.
